(Jamaica Gleaner) Frightened by the sudden and unexplained disappearance of her 39-year-old daughter, Marlene Coudray, the Mayor of San Fernando, in Trinidad, is expected to arrive in Jamaica today, to join in the search for her missing child, Michelle Coudray.
“She is very frightened and worried by Michelle’s disappearance,” said Constance Bogle, a friend of the missing woman. “By coming here, she hopes the local authorities will intensify the search for her daughter.”
Coudray (Michelle), who resided in a rented property at Cornwall Courts, in Montego Bay, recently completed a period of temporary employment as teacher of Spanish/French at Cornwall College and was in negotiation with the school to fill another vacancy in September.
“She went back to T&T over the Easter holidays and returned to the island on Wednesday,” her landlady told The Gleaner yesterday. “She came to see me on Thursday and paid up her outstanding bills. While we were talking, she got a telephone call and left.”
The T&T teacher was next spotted early on Friday at Cornwall College, where she had gone to volunteer her services to start working on Monday with a group of students, who were in final preparation for an upcoming Spanish examination.
“That was the last time she was seen,” said Bogle. “Her disappearance was reported to the police because it is unlike her to go off with saying anything to anyone.”
The missing woman, who is the mother of three children, is no stranger to Jamaica. She lived here for several years and is married to a Jamaican man, albeit they are no longer in a relationship.
“She lived here for several years and then went back to T&T to take up a teaching job there,” said Bogle. “After spending 10 years there, she returned to Jamaica earlier this year.”
“Something is definitely wrong because she would not have gone off without saying anything … that is not her,” said Bogle. “Like her mother and other family members and friends in T&T, we are extremely worried.”
The St. James police have confirmed getting a missing person’s report and according to them, they are currently trying to ascertain what could have happen to the missing woman.
